Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis probably represents a spectrum of disease that may begin as desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) and lead to the findings here of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP).

A, coarse reticular interstitial markings represent fibrosis, predominantly at the lung bases (black circles).

B, A high-resolution CT scan of the chest shows abnormalities at the lung bases in a subpleural location, the typical distribution for UIP. There are small cystic spaces called honeycombing (black circles) with hazy densities called ground-glass opacities (solid white arrows).

Notes:

1. idiopathic [ˌɪdɪr'pæθɪk] a. 特发性的

2. desquamative interstitial pneumonia (DIP) 脱屑性间质性肺炎

desquamative [dɪ'skwæmətɪv] a.脱屑的

3. usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) 寻常型间质性肺炎

4. coarse [kɔ:rs] a. 粗糙的

5. subpleural [sʌb'plʊərəl] a. 胸膜下的

6. honeycombing ['hʌnɪkoʊmɪŋ] 蜂窝化

7. ground-glass opacities 磨玻璃影

特发性肺纤维化可能代表一种疾病的谱，它可以开始于脱皮性间质性肺炎(DIP)，并导致常见间质性肺炎(UIP)的发现。
粗的网状间质标记代表纤维化，主要位于肺底
高分辨率的胸部CT扫描显示在胸膜下位置的肺基底出现异常，这是典型的UIP分布。有一种叫做蜂窝状的小的囊性空间，有朦胧的密度，称为磨玻璃样影
